This week the World Health Organization (WHO) is meeting in Switzerland to advance a legally binding international accord on “pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.” The Biden administration has been working with the WHO on this deal which would hand over public health policy to an unaccountable, unelected, and incompetent international bureaucracy.
This is cause for alarm. The agreement is being called an accord, even though it could have the effect of a treaty. The global bureaucrats realize two-thirds of the U.S. Senate would not approve the agreement. Thankfully, Congress can still act.
The American people didn’t elect a federal government so that they might hand over our nation’s sovereignty to the WHO. This is why we’re urging people to take action, we want our allies in Congress to understand the American people are awake to this attempt to circumvent the constitution.
Given the WHO’s inept response to the COVID-19 pandemic it is hard to imagine why anyone would think giving them more authority to direct global public health policy is a good idea, we certainly don’t. Without Congress having a direct way to vote for or against this treaty, we need to find another way to pressure the administration to ditch this horrible deal: defund the WHO.
The United States has funded the WHO for years. Just last year Congress awarded the WHO $434 million in taxpayer funding, despite the WHO’s commitment to abortion and gender ideology. Just as we shouldn’t be handing our taxpayer dollars to international organizations that support abortion and gender ideology, we shouldn’t allow unelected and unaccountable international organizations – like the WHO – to usurp our national sovereignty.
